A physical examination will be performed, focusing on the area(s) of discomfort and posture, and noting ranges of movement.
X-rays will be taken and interpreted, when deemed necessary.
Neurological examination and other medical tests will be carried out.
These consultations will involve diagnosis and devising an appropriate personalised treatment and management plan for each patient.
Your first visit will last around an hour.
All consultations are private and fully confidential.
On subsequent visits:
Subsequent treatment visits normally take about 15-20 minutes, though occasionally longer may be required.
Chiropractors treat conditions using a range of techniques to reduce pain and increase your range of movement and mobility. These may include:
Performing adjustments of the joints of the spine and extremities using hands or specialist equipment.
Performing soft tissue therapies, including dry needling and trigger point therapy.
Educating and advising patients on rehabilitation exercises to aid long-term recovery, and techniques to ensure health is maintained.
